The soldiers of the Kaishan Camp moved southwest. Along the way, Su Le continued to reorganize the team, starting from a flag team and gradually integrating it into a school team. During this period, he met several school teams from the Kaishan Camp.
Now the life and death of the camp leader of Kaishan Camp is unknown. The first leader died in battle, the second leader Zhao Qi, and the third leader Zhu Cong are missing. With Su Le's reputation in Kaishan Camp, he naturally became the leader of this team.
The backbone and other small schools are not dissatisfied - Su Le's outstanding record is there.
The soldiers at the bottom have the beliefs of the soldiers at the bottom. In the eyes of these soldiers, the leader of the camp has little to do with them. Whoever can lead them to win the battle and who can ensure their survival is the best leader.
Su Le's leadership qualities were clearly visible at this moment. He continued to gather the troops of the Kaishan camp, and finally gathered the strength of eight school teams. You must know that a commander can only lead six school teams, and Su Le's troops are
There are actually eight school teams, which is beyond the commander's establishment. It is equivalent to half of the Kaishan camp being controlled by Su Le.
But even so, Su Le didn't think about risking the lives of these soldiers. During this period, Su Le walked around the safe route of the Qibing Bagua Formation. He encountered two caravans and was defeated by him without any danger.
Avoid it until you reach thirty miles southwest.
"When I dismissed the five schools, I made an appointment with Li Zhu to meet here. I wonder if they are still here?"
The terrain thirty miles southwest is very steep, and the drop in some ravines reaches tens or hundreds of meters. In these ravines, it is difficult to deploy the Qibing Bagua Formation. Therefore, Su Le judged that the merchant team wanted to maintain the Qibing Bagua Formation.
The operation should bypass this place.
Just when Su Le passed from a mountain stream, he suddenly heard shouts, curses, and the sound of metal and iron clashing in front of him. It was obvious that there was an army fighting in front.
Su Le took a closer look and saw that several Shang army schools were attacking around a valley. However, those Shang army teams seemed unable to attack for a long time. While attacking, they used words to provoke them.
"Cowards of Xia Kingdom, do you just dare to hide inside?"
"Xia Jun has always been so disabled!"
The Xia army in the valley did not respond to the voices outside. They only heard someone constantly commanding, "Retreat with the thick earth flag, defend with the black water flag, and attack with the red flag!"
Su Le pricked up his ears and heard it, that was Li Zhu's voice!
During this period of time, Li Zhu has been following Su Le and has learned a lot about Su Le's Kaishan Formation. The characteristic of the Kaishan Formation is that it is easy to learn but complicated to use. However, after the soldiers of the Fifth School have been trained by Su Le,
Li Zhu is already very familiar with the Kaishan Formation, so it is not difficult for Li Zhu to command it.
These merchant army school teams were also among the defeated teams, but these school teams fled here and accidentally discovered the five schools hiding here.
The Shang Army has four school teams, while the Xia Army has only one school team. The several small schools on the Shang Army's side naturally want to take down five schools.
It's just that they didn't expect that under Su Le's training, the combat effectiveness of the fifth school was much stronger than the soldiers of the ordinary cannon fodder battalion. Although the individual strength was very different from that of the elite battalion, the overall strength was not far behind.
The four school teams of the Shang Army were unable to attack for a long time, and the two sides ended up in a stalemate.
"Who said that our Xia army only dared to hide inside?" Su Le laughed loudly and walked out with a battle flag in one hand and a spear in the other.
Behind Su Le, eight school teams quickly gathered and lined up, completely surrounding the four merchant army school teams.
When the four junior colonels on the Shang Army side saw this situation, their faces darkened. They knew they had no way out, so they gritted their teeth and shouted: "Brothers, fight out."
Su Le led eight school teams, how could he let just four merchant army teams escape?
Although the combat effectiveness of these eight school teams cannot be compared with that of the five schools, under Su Le's effective command, the power they exert is definitely not bad. At least it is more than enough to deal with the four merchant army school teams in front of them.
Not only that, when the soldiers of the fifth school saw Su Le leading the reinforcements to fight, they were all surprised and happy.
During the escape just now, the morale of the soldiers of the Fifth School dropped to a freezing point. Su Le has always been the backbone of the Fifth School and the most trusted leader of the soldiers of the Fifth School. No matter how critical the Fifth School was, they never lost it.
This leader, but this time Su Le actually took the initiative to dismiss the five schools. Needless to say, everyone can guess that Su Le must have encountered a big crisis.
At this time, Su Le suddenly appeared, and he also led the brothers from Kaishan Camp to come to help. The morale of the soldiers of the Fifth School suddenly rose. Li Zhu even commanded the soldiers of the Fifth School to form a flying geese formation to kill them.
Although the four Shang Kingdom school teams fought tooth and nail, they were still unable to break through in the end and were completely surrounded and killed.
While the battlefield was being cleaned, Hou Shun, Li Zhu and others immediately surrounded Su Band, "Boss, are you okay?"
Su Le said with a smile: "What can happen to me? Isn't it good now?"
"Look, monkey, I know that Boss Ji has his own destiny, and he will definitely be able to escape." Li Zhu smiled at Hou Shun. It turned out that they led the team to escape, and there had been a dispute on the road. Xu Niu and Hou Shun
Shundu wanted to lead his team back. No matter what difficulties Su Le encountered, the brothers would still fight.
However, Li Zhu firmly opposed it. He knew Su Le's character best. If the situation was not extremely critical, he would never take such a step. The only thing they could do was to obey Su Le's order.
After cleaning the battlefield, Su Le organized all the school teams.
"The army cannot be without leaders. Now that we have nine school teams, I will dye my battle flag red with blood to serve as a temporary camp flag!" After saying this, Su Le went to get the blood from the corpses of the Shang soldiers, and painted himself
The battle flag in his hand was dyed blood red so that his battle flag could be distinguished from other school flags.
After cleaning up the school team, Su Le led them out of the mountain stream.
This night battle has been going on for three hours now. The radius of a hundred miles is like a Shura field, and the corpses of soldiers from the Xia and Shang armies can be seen everywhere.
The sky has already turned white, and the sun is shining brightly in the distant mountains.
The Qibing Bagua array is still operating, but the speed of the caravan has also slowed down greatly, and the frequency of the drums controlling the Qibing Bagua array in the distance has also dropped to a very low frequency.
Occasionally, the roar of dragon cannons was heard. Both the Shang army and the Xia army were already very tired at this time.
But in this battlefield, both sides were bound to win. The Shang army had no intention of retreating, and the Xia army had no intention of withdrawing its troops.
The army of the Shang State wanted to capture the entire Western Xinjiang as quickly as possible, and if the Xia Army retreated, they would only be able to retreat to Tongde Pass. It was the first time that Xijiang was lost. This was a situation that the commander-in-chief of Xia State did not want to see.
The Tiger and Leopard Battalion is one of the strongest elite battalions of the Xia Army. Every soldier is carefully selected. The entire battalion is equipped with Mangshan fire-maned horses. The endurance of these Mangshan fire-maned horses is much higher than that of ordinary horses. Moreover, they all have fangs like wild beasts, and they can tear the throats of enemy soldiers when fighting.
Within three hours, Zhang Yu led the Tiger and Leopard Battalion across the entire battlefield, wiping out four cannon fodder battalions in one fell swoop, and even beheaded half of the Shang Kingdom's elite battalions.
It's just that such a huge war cannot be saved by just one battalion. The casualties of the Haw Par Battalion are also very severe. Now the entire battalion has lost 20% of its troops, and every soldier has a tired look on his face. Even the previous The Mangshan fire-maned horse, famous for its endurance, also walked slowly with its head lowered.
Zhang Yu is sitting on the horse, his eyes are still full of energy. As a warrior, even if he does not rest for ten days and ten nights, he will not feel tired at all. He can bear it, but his soldiers cannot.
"As long as it is a military formation, there must be an formation eye, and the Qi Bagua formation must have an formation eye," Zhang Yu was thinking hard in his head. Zhang Yu has always been conceited and is recognized as a genius in the Zhang family, whether it is cultivation or There are many achievements in the way of formation and the art of war.
This is why he was able to lead the Haw Par Battalion at such a young age.
But today, Zhang Yu was filled with frustration. He spent the whole night sweeping the battlefield. His biggest purpose was to find the center of the Qibing Bagua Formation. As long as he found it and destroyed it, the entire formation would be destroyed. The method will be solved easily.
Now it seems that this idea is almost a luxury.
Whenever Zhang Yu catches some clues and thinks he has found the key point of the formation, the entire formation will change under the sound of that damn drum. Just like that, the formation will change, and the little clues he just caught will disappear. No trace.
God knows how many ways this strange weapon Bagua formation can be transformed?
If Su Le told Zhang Yu that there are more than 4 billion ways to transform this unique Bagua array, Zhang Yu would probably vomit blood on the spot.
Looking at the rising sun in the sky, Zhang Yu sighed. It seemed that there was no hope of breaking the formation. Instead of thinking about breaking the formation, it was better to rush in and kill the damn drummer.
The problem is that the commander who can be responsible for commanding the merchant army is definitely not an ordinary person. The sound of the drum can spread throughout the battlefield under heavy blows, and the consumption of power and vitality of heaven and earth is also conceivable, and the person who beats the drum can continue A night of banging.
Zhang Yu thought to himself that he couldn't do it, and he would definitely not be that person's opponent.
Just when Zhang Yu was thinking hard, a fast horse approached quickly. It was one of the dozen scouts sent by Zhang Yu, "Report! Camp leader, there are people from our Xia army five miles ahead. The merchant camp is at war!"
"What camp is it?" Zhang Yu asked.
"The Merchant Corps is a cannon fodder camp, the Xia Corps... I don't know either," the scout replied.
Zhang Yu was stunned. This is strange. These scouts were trained by Zhang Yu himself. How could he not know about the Xia ** team? If nothing else, don’t you even know the opponent’s camp flag?
Seeing Zhang Yu's appearance, the scout quickly explained: "Xia's army should also be a cannon fodder battalion, but they have no camp flag, only a blood-red flag."
"Blood red battle flag? This is a bit strange. Let's go take a look." Zhang Yu picked up the horse's reins and led the Tiger and Leopard Battalion to run forward. If this kind of thing had happened late yesterday night, he Zhang Yu would not have done anything at all.
Just too lazy to care.
The battle between the cannon fodder battalions has no influence on the situation of the war.
